This Family Completely Transformed Their Home Into Diagon Alley For Halloween And It Is WILD

The magic is in the details!

Perhaps you THINK you've seen your fair share of Harry Potter house transformations, but a family in Austin, Texas truly does deserve 500 House Points for recreating a walk-through Diagon Alley in their front yard for Halloween.

The Pace family, along with neighbors and friends, are responsible for bringing this magic to their home. The project started when Joel's wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.

"Last year, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer," Joel told BuzzFeed. "She had several surgeries and complications. With Halloween approaching, she mentioned we probably wouldn’t do much decorating. I told her that I would handle it all — I'd even build the flying blue car. She smiled, and that's how it all began."

"With every new prop I would build, she would smile. In a way, working in this project was healing for all of us. I did everything out of cardboard last year and it looked amazing — until it rained."

Yes, that is a DRAGON with SMOKE on top of Gringotts!

"This year, we decided to go BIG. I really wanted to build the Hogwarts Express. I started in June, working on it on the weekends, and once I finished, I started thinking that building Gringotts would be a fun project. Essentially, it just got out of hand. We’ve had a lot of fun completing Diagon Alley. My wife has recovered and helps paint and detail. We do it together."

"The response has been incredible. Our neighbors are either helping, encouraging our madness, or decorating their own homes with some kind of Harry Potter theme."
